Prepare the Avocado

1
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
2
Scoop the flesh out into a bowl.
3
Mash the avocado until it reaches a creamy consistency.

Season with:

4
A pinch of salt
5
A pinch of black pepper
6
A pinch of garlic powder
7
A pinch of chili flakes
8
Squeeze some lemon juice.
9
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Prepare the Toast Base

10
Spread the seasoned avocado mixture evenly onto slices of toasted whole-grain bread.

Prepare Poaching Water

11
Fill a medium pot with water, ensuring it's deep enough to fully submerge an egg.
12
Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
13
Add a splash of vinegar (like white vinegar or apple cider vinegar) to the water. This helps the egg white set faster.

Heat Water and Create Whirlpool

14
Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
15
Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat so the water maintains a gentle simmer (small bubbles rising, but not vigorously boiling).
16
Use a spoon to stir the simmering water in a circular motion to create a gentle whirlpool.

Poach the Egg

17
Crack the egg into a separate small dish or ramekin first (this helps ease it into the water and maintain its shape).
18
Carefully slide the egg from the dish into the center of the whirlpool.
19
Let the egg poach undisturbed for 3-5 min. The exact time depends on the size of the egg and your desired yolk consistency (less time for runnier yolks, more time for firmer yolks).
5 min
20
Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift the poached egg out of the water.
21
Allow any excess water to drain off.
